The 'buying on margin' strategy is the main reason the stock market crashed to start the Great Depression. It's crazy how banks could allow those margin rates.

It has been proposed, but i dont think there would be enough interest in it to keep it going. I would be interested from time to time, but certainly not enough to be willing to suggest it myself. If you can get a large enough following in the GD forum then it would be more likely to get put in. Start threads and things like that.

If you want to do another one, then everyone post your name in a list and look for some good simulators. CNBC appears to have a good one, MarketWatch has one I believe. But there could be other ones too.

I want to start one at the beginning of the year, but I won't be able to. However, this can be done by anyone since it isn't an official site function. Just let me know and I will run it up the flagpole for approval.
